HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS INCLUDING HEAT EXCHANGER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18025939 titled 'HEAT EXCHANGER AND AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS INCLUDING HEAT EXCHANGER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a heat exchanger that includes multiple heat transfer pipes, a header, and a fin.

  • The heat transfer pipes are spaced apart from each other in one direction.
  • The header has insertion holes where the front ends of the heat transfer pipes are inserted from a different direction.
  • A fin is attached to the heat transfer pipes.
  • The header has a divider that separates it into two spaces - one with the insertion holes and another connected to a refrigerant pipe.
  • The divider has an opening surrounding the front ends of the heat transfer pipes.
  • This heat exchanger can be used as a condenser or an evaporator in an air-conditioning apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer pipes provided at spacings from each other in a first direction, a header having an insertion hole in which a front end of each of the plurality of heat transfer pipes is inserted from a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a fin attached to heat transfer pipes. The header includes a divider configured to divided the inside of the header into a first space in which the insertion hole is provided and a second space to which a refrigerant pipe is connected. The divider is provided with an opening surrounding the outer periphery of the front end of the heat transfer pipe as seen from the second direction. An air-conditioning apparatus includes the heat exchanger as a condenser or an evaporator.
